Cobh Ramblers travel to the Carlisle Grounds tonight to take on Bray Wanderers.

Bray have turned their season around in recent weeks. The Seagulls are unbeaten in four games. This run includes wins over Finn Harps, Derry City and Galway United and a draw away to Bohemians. Bray left it late in their last game, snatching the three points away to Galway. Ger Rowe grabbed his first goal for Bray in injury time to secure a 3-2 victory for Wanderers.

Cobh come into this game having drawn 0-0 against UCD. Kieran O'Reilly missed a first-half penalty in that game. Ramblers will be looking to pick up their first away points of the season. Cobh have lost all four of their away games so far this season.

Bray have a few injury concerns going into tonight's fixture. Derek Foran, Ger Rowe and Gary McCabe are all doubtful. Foran was subbed off in the last match with a groin strain while Rowe and McCabe both have hamstring worries. Andy Myler returns to the squad having recovered from an ankle injury. John Mulroy and Andrei Georgescu have both resumed training this week but they are still unready.

Bray manager Eddie Gormley said ahead of Friday's clash: "I was delighted to get the win in Galway and get another three points. If we can produce another performance like that on Friday we will be there or thereabouts."

Cobh manager Stephen Henderson has a full squad of players available for tonight's match.

The match will be refereed by M. Gough. Kick-off is at 7.45pm.
